The 37-year-old had been hunted for four years over an alleged debt by one of his kidnappers, Tariq Mahmood. It had led to him being forced to move with his family 17 times to stay out of Mahmood’s clutches. When Mahmood finally caught up with him, he was subjected to a terrifying ordeal which left him bleeding, bruised and with fractured ankles.
For organising the ordeal, Mahmood, 43, of Castle Hill Drive, Castle Bromwich, was jailed for 17 years at Worcester Crown Court last year. His 17-year sentence to 16 years and two months.
Paul Che Murray, 43, of Linwood Court, Erdington, had been involved from the beginning and in the violence. He had his 15-year term for conspiracy to kidnap, false imprisonment and intentional GBH cut to 14 years and four months.
Tehery Mahmood, 39, of Mears Drive, Stechford, who only got involved after the victim was kidnapped, got 14 years for false imprisonment and intentional GBH. He had his sentence cut to 12 years after the Appeal Court was told he has learning difficulties and was under his brother, Tariq’s, influence.
But Kulbir Singh Bains, 43, of Gilson Road, Coleshill, saw his 17-year sentence for conspiracy to kidnap, false imprisonment and intentional GBH upheld.
